Underground inclinometer system

Abstract

The underground inclinometer system includes a probe having a displacement measurement sensor measuring displacement of the ground, a cable controller controlling the length of a cable inserted into the ground to move the probe within an inclinometer pipe, and a ground displacement calculator calculating the displacement of the ground by using displacement measurement information measured by the probe and information on the length of the cable controlled by the cable controller.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This U.S. non-provisional patent application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0032991, filed on Mar. 16, 2017, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.DESCRIPTIONTechnical Field[0002]The present invention disclosed herein relates to an instrument for construction and civil engineering work, and more particularly, to an underground inclinometer inserted into the ground so as to measure displacement of the ground.Background Art[0003]Underground inclinometers are used to determine the safety of ground relaxation areas and temporary structures by measuring the location, direction, size, and speed of each of a horizontal or vertical displacement of soil particles due to other influences such as cavitation at the time of excavation or filling and displacement of an underground water level, comparing the measured location, direction, size, and speed with estimated design dis...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0026]In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, a cable of an underground inclinometer may be made lighter, cheaper, and more difficult to break because internal wirings may be removed from the cable adjusting the location of a probe. Further, displacement of the ground may be accurately measured even when the cable is deformed or replaced.

[0027]Further, supply of power to a probe acquisition of information from the probe may be easily performed by carrying out communications and power charging by wire or wireless when the probe rises to the ground surface.

[0028]Further, abnormal data which may be

Problems solved by technology

Such a repeated operation causes the cable 14 to be damaged.

The cost of the cable is expensive, and thus, the replacement cost increases.

Further, the cable cannot be easily replaced once damaged, so t
